Understanding Human
History: An analysis including the effects of geography and
differential evolution

Michael H. Hart (2007)

Understanding Human History is a history of humanity, beginning about
100,000 years ago and going through the 20th century. It includes
discussions of developments in every major area of the world. Unlike
other books on world history, it explicitly discusses racial differences
in intelligence, and explains how, why, and when they arose. The book
also discusses the many consequences that those differences have had on
human events, starting in prehistoric times and continuing to the
present. The book includes an abundance of data and tables, together
with sixteen maps, three tables, an extensive bibliography, and a
thorough index.

Michael H. Hart is both a trained scientist and a successful history
writer. He did his undergraduate work at Cornell University, where he
majored in mathematics, and later obtained a Ph.D. in astronomy from
Princeton University. He also has master s degrees in two other fields
(physics and computer science). His published work in scientific
journals includes several detailed computer simulations of atmospheric
evolution. His best known history book is The 100: A Ranking of the Most
Influential Persons in History, which has been translated into over a
dozen foreign languages and has sold several hundred thousand copies.
That book has been widely praised for its scope, its lucidity, and its
factual accuracy.
